The success at the Salon of 1851 of the ''Edge of the Forest at Fontainebleau, Setting Sun,'' (c. 1850) a large landscape commissioned by the State, was a token of the official recognition that had been won by the open-air Barbizon painters after 1848.
At the 1849 ''Salon'', Theodore Rousseau was commended with a first place medal, and he was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1852, due to his ability of painting in the "Naturalist" style. In 1866 he was again elected to the Salon jury and the next year he was made President of the Jury of the Exposition Universelle. In 1867, Rousseau exhibited several pictures at the Exposition Universelle, receiving the Medal of Honor.
